Belkin WEMO maker (accessories)

Customer Review

The Belkin WEMO Maker is one of the winners of the award 'Best of What's New 2014' Popular Science magazine and was named Innovation of the Year. The device may be innovative, the equipment is not.

The device also for lay people is not put into operation. Since the device explicitly aimed apparently at Electrician or hobbyists with electrotechnical knowledge, I would have at least some hobbyists as switches, sensors, relays, cable package or similar expected as standard equipment. In the box is not. Without a visit to the electrical shop or a comprehensive consultation at Conrad, you can forget completely the WEMO Maker.

Since the device itself emanates electric shock and also according to the manual only by a qualified electrician wiring should be carried out, the device also for hobbyists is only conditionally not suited to. If it's dangerous, I wonder why the two switches have been relocated not directly to the front to the back. So you would be better off and would not be at risk if the device hangs on the wall and you have to look again, because there is a malfunction. If you already is aimed at hobbyists, one could also expect amenities like a modular KOSMOS. In its current form, I like the product in any way. I'm concerned, the manufacturer can beat it on the final price of 20 euros if for additional components were available. Ultimately, not even the manufacturer offers an accessory pack, so you have to raussuchen everything laboriously from the art catalog and order or spend unnecessary time in the shop.

The coffee machine turn so is frankly absurd, because the machine has to be completely disassembled in order to control them so that can. Whether that is fun and useful, everyone must decide for themselves. The best way is to buy a power strip that can be controlled via radio / wireless. The loss is 10 times lower and also the apartment is not in flames, if you made a mistake. The cats or dogs flap usually works mechanically and the irrigation system for the garden you also controls mostly on timer.

The device is only intended for a very specific clientele. For me personally, the technical complexity outweigh the benefits. The follow-up costs by the entire components that should not be ignored either. If you absolutely want to customize the coffee machine to the personal needs, ordered to better direct a machine with app functionality.
